How to Remove Parental Control on PS3

Parents concerned about what their kids are up to when gaming should be aware of the parental controls available on their PlayStation 3 console. These settings allow players to access only content that's been approved by their parent's control settings. However, if you've set them and want to take them off, you need to change the settings if you're going to remove the restrictions currently set on the console.
